Former Jackass star Bam Margera is back in the spotlight with his inclusion in the new Tony Hawk video game, giving fans a chance to see him elsewhere after his absence in Jackass Forever. Margera and the Jackass team had a big falling out during the production of the sequel, and that seems to have forever put the kibosh on a possible return to the franchise.

Margera discussed the way things were left with Jackass during an interview with CinemaBlend to promote the new video game Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4. He was asked if there was any chance he could revisit Jackass or potentially resurrect his spinoff series, Viva La Bam, in some way. Margera said that the Jackass ship had sailed after what happened with the last movie.

"They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and...

Jackass’ Bam Margera has made up his mind about a potential reunion, and fans won’t be too thrilled. The former skateboarder became a popular culture icon thanks to the MTV shows that featured unforgettable stunt performances and pranks. It aired between October 2000 and August 2001, with reruns extending into 2002. Starring in this cringe comedy was a regular cast ensemble, including Margera, Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Steve-o, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, and Preston Lacy.

In a recent CinemaBlend interview with Margera, the TV personality dished on the subject of returning to Jackass, which he was not entirely against; however, reuniting with his crew was out of the question. Explaining why, he said:

“They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had...

Bam Margera exited the Jackass franchise amid controversy during the production of Jackass Forever, the fourth feature film of the franchise. Now feeling that the best days of Jackass are long gone, Margera has suggested that the franchise is finished, meaning that a potential fifth movie should be called something else. Margera even has a particular title in mind.

Margera was one of the original stars of the Jackass TV show that spawned the franchise, which also included his hit spinoff series, Viva La Bam. In 2020, Margera was terminated from Jackass Forever, and he subsequently filed a lawsuit, arguing that he was wrongfully fired. The two sides later reached a settlement, but the details were not disclosed. While the future of the franchise isn't entirely clear, Margera shared a new video on Instagram sharing his thoughts on a possible fifth film happening.

It’s been more than 4 decades since the fictional band Spinal Tap graced its presence in theaters. Now, fans of the comedy parody movie showcasing one of England’s loudest bands will only have to wait a few more months to see what they’ve been up to all these years.

A new teaser dropped on Spinal Tap’s official X account on March 12. In the 30-second clip, someone is shown plugging in a guitar into an amp and turning the dials on the amp to 11, except for one which goes past 11. In 1984’s This Is Spinal Tap, Nigel Tunfel (Christopher Guest) is seen using a guitar amplifier that has knobs that go from zero to 11, and not the typical 10, therefore cementing Spinal Tap is the loudest band.

The teaser clip shown on X was captioned: “This time, we’re going beyond 11.” The movie also now has an official title...

Tony Hawk recently talked to Jackass director Jeff Tremaine and discovered something kind of awesome: Many of the bits that became iconic moments on the hilariously dangerous stunt show were “just things that were filler for skate videos.”

“There would be skate videos where you’d have weird segues in between the skating segments, which were just Jackass-type stunts,” Hawk told Bill Maher on his Club Random podcast. “And that’s how they started. It really is how they started.”

Big Brother was a skater magazine that was “uncensored, it was just raw and funny,” Hawk said. In its pages, Johnny Knoxville revealed how he shot himself as part of a review of self-defense devices. “They made a video of it,” Hawk explained. “And this just was skating sensibilities turned into a whole show.”

Maher and Hawk discussed the Venn diagram overlap between the skater ethos and Jackass-style comedy. The main commonality?...

Anyone who has seen the original film knows that drummers experience an unfortunate fate in the world of Spinal Tap, so it might not end well for Ulrich and Smith. Meanwhile, Drescher is reprising her hilarious role as record-label publicist and “hostess with the mostest” Bobbi Flekman.

Rob Reiner's upcoming sequel to his 1984 mockumentary classic This Is Spinal Tap has added to its burgeoning cast - including two returnees from the original film.

The Jackass movies became a major hit, reaching a wider audience than expected due to their unique concept and daredevil stunts. Jackass Number Two was a rare sequel that outshined the original, with more polished and better-paced content. Jackass Forever recaptured the essence of the first movies, featuring a mix of old and new cast members who pulled off dangerous stunts with the same comedic flair.

The Jackass movies in order represent a nostalgic piece of aughts popular culture at its finest. Debuting on MTV in 2000, Jackass was fronted by Johnny Knoxville and featured now-iconic stunt performers such as Steve-o, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, and more. While parents and politicians were concerned about the influence the show would have on younger viewers who wanted to imitate the show's dangerous stunts, the outrage only added to the Jackass' notoriety.

Hugh Grant's casting as an Oompa Loompa in the upcoming Wonka film has sparked controversy, with some arguing it takes away opportunities from actors with dwarfism. Others believe Grant's casting is a refreshing departure from typecasting and challenges stereotypes, but this may limit opportunities for actors with dwarfism in other roles. The debate surrounding the casting decision highlights the need for Hollywood to create more diverse and inclusive opportunities for actors with dwarfism.

Wonka director Paul King sent Hugh Grant a naked image of an Oompa Loompa which had his children "a little alarmed," the actor shares. Starring Timothée Chalamet in the titular role, the upcoming prequel film provides an origin story for Willy Wonka focusing on his early days as an eccentric chocolatier. The Wonka cast also includes Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa named Lofty, which reunites the actor with his Paddington 2 director Paul King, though the...

Hugh Grant struggled with the process of animating his Oompa-Loompa character for Wonka, finding it uncomfortable and confusing. Grant expressed dissatisfaction with his own performance, as most of his movements were replaced by an animator. Grant's casting as an Oompa-Loompa sparked controversy, with some arguing that it took away an opportunity for actors with dwarfism in Hollywood.

Wonka star Hugh Grant discusses his experience playing an Oompa-Loompa in the upcoming movie. First introduced as workers at the chocolate factory in Roald Dahl's 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa-Loompas have gone through many iterations in their various media appearances. In the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder, the factory workers appeared with orange skin and green hair. Grant's Oompa-Loompa character sports a similar appearance in Wonka, which stars Timothée Chalamet as the titular chocolatier.

During a press conference, Grant revealed to Metro.co.uk...

Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs certainly seems to have struck a nerve for some people, and I doubt the first-look image is going to change anyone’s mind.

The studio announced this morning that the release of Snow White had been pushed from March 22, 2024, to March 21, 2025, but they also released a new image featuring Rachel Zegler’s Snow White surrounded by the Seven Dwarfs. Unfortunately, the characters look as though they’ve been dragged from the uncanny valley kicking and screaming. Check it out below.

That’s some Polar Express shit right here. The reveal of the characters may also come as a surprise to some as Disney had implied that they would be taking a different approach with the Dwarves after Peter Dinklage slammed the remake last year.

“I was a little taken aback when they were very proud to cast a Latina actress as Snow White,...

A cinematic cornerstone, now more than ever, people are looking back at the Disney movie that changed the world and now towards its upcoming live-action remake. Disney's legacy may have begun with a mouse, but a princess who made their wishes come true. With its celebration in full swing and controversy arising for its 100th anniversary, Disney must reflect on the legacy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Debuting in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs changed history forever as the first full-length animated feature released by Walt Disney Productions. However, slated to release in March 2024, Disney's live-action remake, Snow White, hoped to revisit the classic film, only to be met with controversy. Primarily fueled by the strong criticisms voiced by stars Rachel Zegler and Peter Dinklage, a wave of backlash has swept over Disney's upcoming movie. Swiftly, audiences, including prominent Hollywood figures like Jason Acuña and Dylan Postl,...

Jason "Wee Man" Acuña criticizes Hugh Grant's casting as an Oompa Loompa in the upcoming film Wonka, questioning Grant's identification as a little person. Acuña agrees with Peter Dinklage's criticism of typecasting little people and its impact on job opportunities. Acuña personally feels unaffected by this typecasting, explaining his decision not to speak out about it.

Jackass star Jason "Wee Man" Acuña recently criticized Hugh Grant's casting in the upcoming film, Wonka, in which the English actor play an Oopma Loompa.

Wonka is a prequel movie that sees Timothée Chalamet play the iconic candymaker initially created by Roald Dahl. The film was directed by Paul King and written by King and Simon Farnaby. In addition to Chalamet, the fantasy musical also stars Calah Lane as a girl named Noodle, Olivia Coleman, Rowan Atkinson, Keegan-Michael Key, Paterson Joseph, Matt Lucas, Matthew Baynton, Natasha Rothwell, Jim Carter, and Sally Hawkins.

Wonka's casting choices, including Hugh Grant as an Oompa-Loompa, have sparked controversy and criticism from actors with dwarfism who feel excluded from the industry. This casting controversy is not unique to Wonka, as recent films like Disney's Snow White have also faced backlash for casting actors without dwarfism as the seven dwarves. The debate highlights the need for greater inclusivity and authentic representation in Hollywood, but there are challenges in finding a balance that avoids stereotypes while providing opportunities for actors with dwarfism.

Wonka appears to be a promising reimagination of Roald Dahl's stories, but its casting choices have already stirred some complex controversies. Directed by Paul King, Wonka will not tread the same path as the other previous adaptations of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Instead, it will walk audiences through the adventures of younger Willy Wonka and how the eccentric chocolatier first met the Oompa-Loompas.

Jackass star Wee Man criticizes Hugh Grant's casting as an Oompa Loompa in Wonka, highlighting the lack of opportunities for actors with dwarfism. Casting non-dwarf actors in roles traditionally reserved for people with dwarfism perpetuates harmful typecasting and restricts opportunities for actors with dwarfism. Playing an Oompa Loompa can open doors for actors with dwarfism, so it is concerning when opportunities for accurate representation are missed, and other actors join the critique alongside Wee Man.

Jackass star Jason Acuña, who is better known as Wee Man, is speaking out against Hugh Grant's casting in Wonka. Hugh Grant will be playing an Oompa Loompa, one of the many workers at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The portrayal has drawn widespread criticism, as previous Oompa Loompa actors in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were people with dwarfism.

Acuña, who came to prominence as a stunt performer in Jackass,...

Jason Acuña aka Wee Man has a few thoughts on “Wonka.”

The “Jackass Forever” star shared a TikTok video questioning Hugh Grant’s casting as an Oompa Loompa in the upcoming “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” prequel. Timothée Chalamet portrays the titular chocolatier Willy Wonka.

“Hugh Grant is now playing an Oompa Loompa? So I guess Hugh Grant, you’re now identifying as a little person?” Acuña said. “Huh, interesting.”

The stunt man went on to call out Disney’s upcoming “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” live-action remake with Rachel Zegler in the lead.

“You’re replacing jobs that people could have [us] as little people,” Acuna added. “It’s for dwarfs. Why are you hiring ‘Snow White and the seven average people?'”

He continued that Disney should “make it right” and “re-do” casting with members of the dwarfism community. “Make it better Disney,” Acuna said.

Hugh Grant Being Cast as Oompa Loompa in New ‘Wonka’ Film Criticized by Actor with Dwarfism

Hugh Grant‘s casting in the upcoming “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” prequel, “Wonka”, is being criticized by actors with dwarfism.

In the trailer for the film, which was released earlier this month, Grant is seen as an Oompa Loompa, the name Roald Dahl used for the group of diminutive factory workers in his 1964 novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.

While it’s not clear if any actors with dwarfism are featured in the upcoming film, Oompa Loompas were played by actors with dwarfism in two previous films based on Roald Dahl’s book.

In a new interview from the BBC, George Coppen, an actor with dwarfism, said he believes the role should have been given to an actor with the condition.

“A lot of actors [with dwarfism] feel like we are being pushed out of the industry we love,...

Disney's live-action Snow White remake is facing criticism for various reasons, including the casting of Rachel Zegler as Snow White. Actor Peter Dinklage called out Disney for their choice, stating that the story remains backward despite casting a Latino actress. Another source of criticism stems from the decision to transform the Seven Dwarfs into magical beings, potentially affecting job opportunities for little people.

Disney's live-action adaptations keep getting slammed. After the huge conflicts surrounding the Little Mermaid remake, the next classic from the House of the Mouse is also receiving negative comments. Snow White will be making her return to the big screen after being the first animated movie from the studio which kicked off a legacy that lives on to this day. But not even that can save it from controversies.

Rachel Zegler's casting as the famous princess was the first stone in the shoe for the film, since...

Whether it's Gene Wilder, Johnny Depp or even Wonka's Timothée Chalamet, various performers brought something unique to Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka. In 2009, however, Funny or Die released a satirical short sketch entitled "Gobstopper" that took a different approach to the colorful chocolatier. And while multiple people stand out for playing Wonka on the big screen, few came off as unsettling and delightfully disturbed as Christopher Lloyd in what has to be one of his most underrated performances.

Featuring talent like Lloyd of Back to the Future fame, along with Wee Man from Jackass and Friday Night Lights' Zach Gilford, "Gobstopper" portrayed Wonka as a wigged-out horror movie villain making candy from his victims. Despite generating speculation of being an actual upcoming movie, "Gobstopper" ultimately was an elaborate parody. And it had well-known actors convening to create a campy and horrific take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Jackass star Steve-o continues to outdo himself and this time he was in London performing a stunt that ended up getting him detained by local authorities. The television personality jumped off the Tower Bridge promoting a comedy special and detailed what happened.

Are you ready to catch the fourth installment of the Jackass saga, Jackass Forever? Well, we have good news, as today we will tell you where you can watch Jackass Forever and what streaming platform to find it on.

Although unscripted television shows portraying ordinary people are as old as television itself, reality television as we know it really came to prominence in the early 2000s. Shows like Big Brother, Pop Idols, and Survivor ushered in a worldwide obsession with watching normal people in unusual situations or showing off their ‘talent’.

However, Jackass was something absurdly different. Hitting our screens in 2000, Jackass episodes premiered on MTV and followed an original crew of friends carrying out grotesque pranks and bone-breaking stunts that made viewers cringe in obsessive disgust. Controlling parents around the globe were up in arms about the show's provocative ‘indecency’ as they sat terrified their little Johnny was going to follow suit.

The stars of the Jackass franchise are known for their death-defying stunts and hilarious pranks, but two of the cast members also have side hustles that consist of selling tacos and hot sauce. Begun as a reality series on MTV in the early 2000s, Jackass has since spawned multiple feature films and branched out with a number of spinoffs starring members of its stunt-comedy troupe. Over the years, Jackass cast members have also acted in other movies, played sports professionally, performed stand-up comedy, and become investors in various commercial enterprises.

Considering the Jackass gig is not consistent — the latest of the theatrically released Jackass movies, Jackass Forever, arrived more than a decade after its predecessor — it makes sense that the cast members have other moneymaking ventures. Plus, through Jackass and their additional activities, the stars of the franchise have become rich and famous enough to lend their names and their...

The Jackass series debuted on MTV in 2000, quickly becoming one of the most popular television shows. It followed the antics of a group of friends as they engaged in outrageous stunts, pranks, and dangerous physical challenges. The show cast included Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Wee Man, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ryan Dunn.

Despite parental and political worries about the show’s potential impact on younger viewers, it quickly skyrocketed in popularity. After three seasons of wading through constant censorship notes from MTV, Knoxville and his pals decided to end their run; thus began, Jackass’ successful transition to the silver screen era.

The Jackass franchise spawned several movies that were released between 2002 and 2022, in the following order:

All the Jackass Movies in Order of Release Date Jackass The Movie (2002) Jackass Number Two (2006) Jackass 2.5 (2007) Jackass Presents Mat Hoffman’s Tribute to Evel Knievel (2008) Jackass 3D (2010) Jackass 3.5 (2011) Jackass Presents...

Mel Brooks’ long-awaited sequel series, History of the World, Part II, is gleefully taking potshots at humankind today by spoofing some of history’s most influential figures and milestones.

Primary cast members include Mel Brooks, Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll, and Ike Barinholtz. However, there’s a whole lot more.

It’s the Christmas season and a staple of the holidays is sitting down with the family for a wholesome movie. While some avid fans like to take this time to rewatch some festive classics, such as Jack Frost or The Holiday, others tend to check Netflix or the Hallmark Channel to see if they have created anything just as unique. Unfortunately, not all their holiday movies have landed with the audience, as they have received a few low scores on IMDb.

They are accompanied by several other holiday movies, such as The Santa Clause 3: Escape The Clause, which have all been remembered for reasons their creators did not intend. If the family or friend group wants to get started roasting movies instead of chestnuts, then these are the perfect candidates for their scorches.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville comments on where he stands with former co-star Bam Margera. Jackass originally started as a reality show on MTV, but has since become a successful franchise of feature-length films. Despite now releasing theatrically and featuring bigger budgets, the basic premise has always stayed the same, with Knoxville and his companions subjecting themselves to a series of gross, painful, and hilarious stunts. The fourth film in the mainline franchise overall, Jackass Forever features bigger stunts than ever before and earned generally positive reviews from audiences and critics alike upon its release earlier this year.

The cast for the Jackass films has generally stayed the same throughout the franchise, with several notable exceptions. In addition to Knoxville, who also serves as executive producer, the films usually feature Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-o, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey, and Ryan Dunn. Both Dunn and Margera were absent from Jackass Forever,...

Johnny Knoxville explains how Jackass 5 would look somewhat different from the previous Jackass films if they were to move forward with another installment. Having started out as a series on MTV in 2000, Knoxville and his friends made their long-awaited return to screens earlier this year for the fourth Jackass feature film, Jackass Forever. More than ten years on from the release of Jackass 3, audiences were delighted to see Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuña, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey reunite for another round of ridiculous stunts and hilarious gags.

Alongside these returning fan favorites, the Jackass gang was joined by a handful of newbies as they were initiated into the group through a variety of wild stunts.

Between the pandemic very much continuing to be a thing and a winter storm named after the meanest kid in a kindergarten class taking over half the United States, getting people to willingly leave their homes to get to the movie theater is no easy task.

Who would've thought you could do anything more degrading than Jackass? Former cast member Wee-Man is the star of this atrocity of a Christmas film about an elf superhero that sounds so bad it might actually be good. From the trailer, it would appear that Elf-Man is about a superhero elf who sets out to save two kids' father's plan for renewable energy from burglars. 

Sounds like a holiday classic, right? Honestly, if this film popped up on Syfy, I'd probably watch it, so I shouldn't knock it so much...but man does this trailer make it look awful!

Paramount Pictures has released the trailer for “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” starring Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Bam Margera, Wee-Man, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, and Ryan Dunn.

86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.” This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicoll) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.

Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens.

Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Have a look at the trailer below.

Earlier this week, Ryan Dunn's family, friends and loved ones gathered at a memorial held at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles to mourn the "Jackass" star's death. During the service, a very moving video tribute was played to honor Dunn, the second half of which was cut together by "Jackass" co-star Rick Kosick, and includes a song for Dunn by Roger Alan Wade, "The Light Outlives the Star."

"Ryan was really crazy about my cousin Roger," Johnny Knoxville said in a statement to MTV News. "He loved his music and really looked up to him. Rog' was equally as crazy about Ryan and, like everyone else, was shook by his passing. Rest in peace, brother. We love you."

The video tribute is a montage of Dunn's greatest hits, most of them "Jackass"-related,...

Jackass star Jason 'Wee-Man' Acuna has paid tribute to his late co-star Ryan Dunn by getting a tattoo of his face. Acuna had the new tattoo inked onto his leg, which shows a picture of Dunn's face with a cigarette, and the caption 'Random Hero', which was one of his nicknames. In a video posted online of him getting the tattoo, Acuna said: "How can I do something for Ryan? Well, it's something he'd probably do for anyone of us if it was one of us in the situation. And I'm going to get him tattooed (more)...

Ryan Dunn's Jackass pals have taken to Twitter.com to mourn the TV and movie stuntman's passing.

Dunn died in a car crash in Pennsylvania on Monday morning, leaving his Jackass castmates stunned.

Johnny Knoxville, who leads the posse of daredevils, writes, "Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. Rip Ryan, I love you buddy."

Castmate Jason 'Wee-Man' Acuna adds, "I Miss You Bud!! You were always a happy kick-a** dude!!"

And Dave England tweets, "I love you Ryan. I'm gonna miss you bad."

As news of Ryan Dunn's passing quickly spread, Johnny Knoxville turned to Twitter to express his grief. "Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn," he wrote upon hearing that Dunn had died today in a fiery car crash in Pennsylvania. "My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. Rip Ryan, I love you buddy." But Knoxville wasn't the only Jackass costar to use the social media site as an outlet to mourn. "I love you Ryan. I'm gonna miss you bad," tweeted David England, while Jason "Wee-Man" Acuna added: "I miss you, bud. You were always a happy kick-ass dude!" As for Steve-o, he shared a similar sentiment.  "I don't know what to say,...

"Jackass" fans the world over woke up this morning to the terrible news that star Ryan Dunn was killed in a car accident Sunday evening. Dunn's fans are understandably devastated by the news, and to honor his memory, the MTV Movies crew is looking back upon five of his very best "Jackass" movie moments. Rest in peace, Ryan.

"Master Blaster"

"Jackass 3D" blew us away, and it blew Dunn away as well—literally! Poor Ryan was the guy selected to participate in the movie's "Master Blaster" stunt, where he sat in an admittedly comfortable-looking chair while withstanding the awesome force of an L-39 jet fighter's activated engine. There are certainly easier (and less expensive) ways to cool off, but hats off to Ryan for giving us this priceless moment.

Bull-ied

Dunn's willingness to do really, really stupid things in the pursuit of laughter was on full display during the introduction sequence for "Jackass Number Two,...

'Ryan will be missed and remembered by us all,' the 'Jackass' crew says in a statement.

As news of "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn's death began to circulate on Monday (June 20), those who knew him best paid tribute to their fallen friend and struggled to come to terms with the loss of a man whose antics touched the lives of many.

In a message posted on the website of Dickhouse Entertainment (the producers of the wildly popular "Jackass" series and shows like "Rob & Big" and "Wildboyz"), Dunn was remembered by Johnny Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine and "the entire 'Jackass' family" as a "brother," though the pain of his death was understandably evident.

"I don't really know what to say right now everybody, because the sadness is overwhelming, but today we lost one of our own.

Jackass films aren’t made with a shooting script and meticulous camera work. The process involves a lot of trial and error, and so for every movie, it seems there’s enough footage to make a number of films. And where the theatrical Jackass 3-D focuses on the stuff that went great, Jackass 3.5 offers the stunts that were too stupid, too lame, too familiar, or too dangerous to make the theatrical release. It’s the whole gang: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-o, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Ehren McGhehey, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Wee-Man. And they’re there to celebrate their failures. Check out our review of the Blu-ray after the jump. As a fan, what I like or find fascinating about these .5 Jackass films is that by collecting all the bits that don’t work, it makes you strangely sympathetic to the film. In some cases the bits...

Repeat after me:  there is never enough Jackass.

The saints and tzadiks at Paramount Home Entertainment know this, and that's why they've released Jackass 3.5 on DVD and Blu-ray.

For your laugh-snorting pleasure comes a whole new collection of deleted scenes, making-of material and features with enticing titles like "Jackass: The European Tour." 

We're happy to debut this clip, that includes Wee-man dressing like a duck.  Enjoy!

The Film:

Like the previous films, with Jackass 3D (review here) director Jeff Tremaine and the Jackasses filmed a slew of gags, and with some much left on the cutting room floor after Jackass 3D was released, Paramount naturally crafted an entire new film in Jackass 3.5. While we see a ton of new stunts, a neat thing about 3.5 is that is doesn’t wholly feel like a new film, but feels like a denouement to Jackass 3D, something I called “a side-splitting hilarious coda to a generational gift from a few lovable idiots that balked at the notion that not everyone can keep their fifteen minutes of fame.”

While there’s plenty of great moments, the film is structured differently than most Jackass films, in where the cast and crew are candidly interviewed in-between vintages about the dangerous world of filming a Jackass movie. I liked this structure, but...

Last time on the Jackass 3D free boozing, sumo wrestling, wind blasting, rope swinging, red carpet party coverage: I interviewed director Jeff Tremaine and Jackass members Ryan Dunn and Chris Pontius. Today I finish off the interviews with fellow Jackass members Eric McGhehey, Preston Lacey and Wee-Man – wherein we discuss their earliest Jackass memories, scenes they wished had made the final cut, Mr. McGhehey’s missing tooth and Jackass 3.5. Jackass 3D is currently available on DVD and Blu-ray everywhere. Hit the jump for the interviews. Ehren McGhehey ¨ 00:04 – On his missing tooth and the Jackass stunt, which caused it ¨ 00:38 – On his earliest Jackass memory ¨ 01:19 – On which cut sequence(s), he wished appeared in the film ¨ 01:37 – On Jackass 3.5 Preston Lacey ¨ 00:00 – On his earliest Jackass memory ¨ 00:31 – On which cut sequence(s), he wished appeared in the film ¨ 00:50 – On Jackass 3.5 Wee- Man ¨ 00:00 – On...

The Jackass 3D Launch DVD Party was unsurprisingly rowdy – but not quite for the reasons one would naturally assume. Big gusts of wind plowed through the red carpet causing the wooden platforms emblazoned with Jackass logos to crack, break. Even the red carpet itself wasn’t safe from the sudden blasts of wind – one gust caused a piece of the carpet to blow off folding in onto itself. However – more importantly, the unceasing winds caused me to shiver unendingly, my papers and notes to blow off into the furthest depths of the Paramount parking lot and the audio for the interviews to sound particularly distorted. But such circumstances failed to deter this intrepid interviewer from talking with Jackass 3D director Jeff Tremaine and Jackass members Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Wee-Man, Preston Lacey and Ehren McGhehey about their earliest Jackass memories, their favorite deleted scenes, and what to expect from Jackass 3.5.

"Oil spills, pain's temporary, glory lasts forever." If there's better advice than that, we don't want to hear it. Unless we're planning on riding our bicycle across a deadly ravine. In that case, the advice we'd hope to hear is more along the lines of a smack upside the head.

Sadly, no one gifted Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña with such advice before he attempted a death-defying stunt for the brutally hilarious "Jackass 3D," which arrives on DVD and Blu-ray today. The endlessly dumped upon Wee-Man sinks to new lows (forgive the pun) in this exclusive deleted scene from the "Jackass" threequel as he attempts to cross a deep ravine with nothing but his bike.

We don't need to spoil the outcome for you. You already know how this one ends: bad for Wee-Man, hilarious for us. Enjoy!
